Exercise Science is the study of specific aspects of human movement that trains and educates students in a mixture of hard science, applied science, and the techniques and principles of exercise. Kinesiology with Coaching will provide students with a basic understanding of the physiological principles of human movement through objective analyses and lab study, including an introduction to the principles of biomechanics. Students develop a practical understanding of the anatomical structures critical to upper and lower extremity motion in humans. Graduates of this program may enter into the profession as personal trainers, fitness managers, ergonomics specialists, coaches, or facilities managers. This program also serves as a foundation for pursuing health-related fields as well as graduate studies. In addition to offering students a rigorous science foundation, courses in specific fitness applications, and internships dedicated to preparing students for entry into related careers, our program allows students the opportunity to create subspecialties in areas such as Sports Management, Education, Marketing, and Management, to name a few, in order to build career flexibility into their education.
